Bright Winter is a sub-season with the highest level of contrast, therefore you can pull of colour combinations that would look bright and strong. Complementary, triadic and tetradic colour combinations would suit you the best. They provide high contrast, because they are on the opposite side or far apart on the colour wheel. They appear brighter and more prominent and create bold and vibrant look.
For triadic and tetratic combinations, its better to use one dominant colour and use the others as accent colours in order to balance your look.
